Public Server Game 160

Game Date:	24.09.09-03.10.09
Usual suspects:	Mark, Petert ^Spike^, V453000, HDIEagle, Franco, jdread, ostannard, Chris Booth, Lord Aro, Welsh, jondisti, DCritic (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL3
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Sub-Arctic
Version used:	r17496 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	An organic ML layout was chosen with mainlines that fitted nicely into the valleys and avoided the snowy peaks, which provided some pitoresque spots. The initial connections required some extensive upgrading in the later game and also some mainlines had to be added, once this was done the network ran pretty smoothly.

Public Server Game 159

Game Date:	15.09.09-24.09.09
Usual suspects:	FiCE, Petert, DCritic (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL5 & 10
Mapsize:	2048 x 256 Temperate
Version used:	r17496 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	Expert industries with stockpile limits were loaded for this game. We had a central ML with terminals connected directly to it. These terminals were connected to local rings which both produced and accepted cargo. ML trains were used to balance supply and demand over the rings.

Public Server Game 158

Game Date:	06.09.09-15.09.09
Usual suspects:	Chris Booth, Fuco, tneo, Petert, Franco (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL 5
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Sub-Tropic
Version used:	r17496 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	Following the failed attempt of many plans, Chris Booth came to save the day. With inflation turned "on" for the first half of the game, running costs were high, so to survive, profits needed to be just as high.

Public Server Game 157

Game Date:	27.08.09-06.09.09
Usual suspects:	Mark, Combuster, Petert, ^Spike^, hylje, Ammler, Franco, Mks, Highpinger, Farden, Chris Booth, Thraxian, (extend)
Gametype:	ICE/S-Bahn
Trainlength:	TL 5
Mapsize:	256 x 256 Temperate
Version used:	r17288 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	Rather than going with the conventional load-unload orders we chose to have intelligent stations pulling trains of the ML for this game. Each of the 8 stations connected to the small or wide ML respectively pulled 1/4 or 1/8 trains off, making sure pax was distributed equally over the stations. Of course this resulted in some nice overly complex constructions. hacked in mainlines and jamming sidelines, all in the middle of the metropolis covering the entire map. Also have a look at Combuster's blog post about this game.

Public Server Game 156

Game Date:	19.08.09-27.08.09
Usual suspects:	Mark, Petert, ^Spike^, Tussengas, Mks, ODM, Thraxian, Chris_booth, KenjiE20, Nickman, Combuster, tneo, seandasheep, fuco, SmatZ, Ben Totterdell, jondisti (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL 3
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Arctic
Version used:	r17170 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	Faced with a tough map, we started building quickly to get the main infrastructure down, from there it was adding industries and trains. And of course, removing/fixing jams.

Public Server Game 155

Game Date:	14.08.09-19.08.09
Usual suspects:	Nickman, Chris Booth, andyp, ^Spike^, sepp, fuco, XeryusTC, Mark, Mks, Combuster, Kangoo, Kolo, Petert, tneo, Tussengas (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL 5
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r17170 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	Add game summary

Public Server Game 154

Game Date:	09.08.09-14.08.09
Usual suspects:	Nickman, Tussengas, Fuco, ^Spike^, Mark, Chris Booth, XeryusTC, HDIEagle, FiCE, Barbaar, Petert, andyp, sukasa, insulfrog, Neuroticus, Thraxian (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo + Pax
Trainlength:	TL 15
Mapsize:	1024 x 1024 Tropical
Version used:	r17170 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	The map was straightforward, flat and thus easy to build big constructions. Goal was to get a total population of > 2.5 Million with only 4 cities. Few succeeded and we almost went bankrupt while trying :). The main network was built with huge capacity which was never reached so no upgrades were needed. We ended up with a population of 1.1 Million, which is about half of the given goal.

Public Server Game 153

Game Date:	02.08.09-09.08.09
Usual suspects:	Nickman, ^Spike^, Raiscan, insulfrog, Combuster, Mark, HDIEagle, hyle, XeryusTC, satyap, SmatZ (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo + Pax
Trainlength:	TL 6
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Arctic
Version used:	r16973 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	The game featured a very mountaneous map, and together with the relatively high trainlength, this quickly became the main engineering problem. The plan nevertheless worked out quite nice, with only very little extension of the ML being necessary.

Huge mountain transfer station for goods and food. Because of CL6, it used up allot of space to connect to the ML.

Public Server Game 152

Game Date:	22.07.09-02.08.09
Usual suspects:	Nickman, HDIEagle, ^Spike^, OwenS, satyap, ODM, Petert, J_Darnley, FiCE, Razaekel, JaW, Hans, planetmaker, Raiscan, skasi (extend)
Gametype:	Gametype:Cargo_Concept
Trainlength:	TL 3
Mapsize:	1024 x 512 Sub-Tropical
Version used:	r16973 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	The game started out with a very simple plan and structure. Most of the game was straight forward except for the rebuilding of all the hubs when we added the fourth and fifth main line. The factory drop/pickup was rebuilt several times, and multiple exit strategies were used. In the end we used an experimental merging technique which seemed to be able to cope with the large load of trains.

Huge Factory station which was rebuilt several times, the exit was rebuilt even more with various merging strategies.

Public Server Game 151

Game Date:	16.07.09-22.07.09
Usual suspects:	planetmaker, Thraxian, mixrin, Hans, Avdg, Nickman, HDIEagle, ^Spike^, OwenS, Radicalimero , Wall-D, satyap , Combuster (extend)
Gametype:	PAX Semi-Chaos
Trainlength:	TL 10
Mapsize:	256 x 1024 Temperate
Version used:	16903 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 7.3
Remarks:	A game stationed on a set of Japanese islands, which were quickly filled by tracks. The plan states that the big islands need one Shinkansen station each, with a local network filling it with passengers. In the end, except for a few nature reserves, all islands were covered by track, town, road or station. The game also saw some expertimal order usage, exploring the possibilities of conditional orders.
